Abstract

Neste artigo analisamos o processo de atomização e contagem em Kuikuro (Carib, Brasil). Kuikuro é uma língua de número-neutro caracterizada pela ausência de classificadores numerais. Hipotetizamos neste artigo que o processo de atomização em Kuikuro é realizado através de uma função dependente do contexto (cf. Rothstein (2010)) a qual é opcionalmente manifestada através do container estandardizado ingü.
